Maintenance instructions
Correct upkeep, recharging and
storage will prolong the life of
the battery and are essential if
warranty claims are to be con-
sidered.
Compliance with the points be-
low is important in order to max-
imise battery life:
Keep the surface of the battery
clean and dry
Be sure to read and comply
with the instructions for char-
ging the battery on the follow-
ing pages
Do not turn the battery upside
down.
If the battery is not discon-
nected, the on-board elec-
tronics (e.g. clock, etc.) gradually
drain the battery. This can cause
the battery to run flat. If this hap-
pens, warranty claims will not be
accepted.
Connect a float charger to the
battery if the motorcycle is to
remain out of use for more than
four weeks.
